It surely does. I will finally be able to sleep well; what would we do without these intellectuals?View attachment 5000
Does this answer your question?
Can't wait for that Gerstlauer Infinity coasterI’m still holding out for a coaster on the former Cedar Dorms site
So you mean the next best coaster ever?Can't wait for that Gerstlauer Infinity coaster
I would be fine without a new coaster in 2020. The chain did say in that investor meeting (or earnings call, presentation, or whatever) they wanted to space out large investments over a longer period of time. CP got Valravn in 2016 and SV in 2018. Unless they are planning to retire one of their older coasters I feel it may be another 2-3 years before we see a major ride. I guess once the park opens we will see if further land prep of that area has happened or if footers are spotted anywhere.
It would have to be a relatively small footprint if they were to put a new coaster in that area, correct? I'm trying to think of the area they could use in the park and they would probably have to move the bumper cars, seating for the stage by Iron Dragon, bathrooms by the train station, etc... to open up more land. Anyway, whatever they do for the 150th will be fun and exciting. I can't wait to hear about their plans!
I'd totally be down for a GCI woodie or B&M flying coaster but, since this is Cedar Point, I hope it's larger and more interesting than the Superman clones. Something like Tatsu would be awesome, especially if it went out over the water.They tore down the dorms over the off-season, as Cedar Point is moving them off-campus. Apparently, the road that separated the Cedar Point park from these dorms is being rerouted closer to the waterfront too. Using Google Earth, the dorms plot of land took up approximately 3.5 acres — more than enough to fit in a Thunderhead-sized GCI wooden coaster or a Superman: Ultimate Flight-sized B&M flying coaster. There’s a small open area between Valravn and the train station that can be used for the entry sign and perhaps some of the queue. Anything is possible, however.
Only problem with theories on building into the lake - Cedar Point's property line is limited to land. Might be a bit of a hassle trying to annex chunks of lake.I’m not sure a B&M flyer going out over the water would be feasible — I have talked to multiple other coasterfans about that over the years, and while we all agree it’d look spectacular, the cost and upkeep of the supports would be way too much. They also take up a lot of space, but I’m certain that if Cedar Point and B&M put their creative minds to it they could weave a flyer in and around the preexisting park — akin to how Tatsu is situated above the funicular and Revolution, while also circling around the observation tower.
Take out Gemini and perfect spot!Only problem with theories on building into the lake - Cedar Point's property line is limited to land. Might be a bit of a hassle trying to annex chunks of lake.
In the speculative coaster world, throw me in with @CrashCoaster on a fun, traditionally themed GCI being a good addition. For a park that has pretty much everything, Cedar Point's weird gap at this point is having only one wooden coaster.
I mean, there's a lovely plot of land opening up where the Cedars Dorms used to stand.Take out Gemini and perfect spot!

Nah, save that for the beautiful Raptor. Burn Gemini like the piece of garbage it is.I mean, there's a lovely plot of land opening up where the Cedars Dorms used to stand.
